Crispy Orange Chicken Bowl

Evening Dolls!

First and foremost, Spring is apon us! Those kind of days you live for when it's got just the right chill in the air to have a small blanket around you and during the day you can open your windows and wear some cute shorts. Oh! and it's time to spruce up those iPods and place some good summer jams on there. May I suggest "Morning Sun"-Sugar Ray (yes, Sugar Ray lol) "I Was Made For Sunny Day"-The Weepies & "Toes"-Zac Brown Band. Now you must be wondering what in the good golly hell does this have to do with our food blog? Well, lots actually. Means we can start grilling and making interesting salads and cold pasta's. It's gonna get good over this warm season so definitely stay tuned. It won't be anything to miss!

Anywho, it is only the beginning of this beautiful weather and we're back to reality lol. This week's recipe is Ma's pick and to tell you the truth I'm pretty jazzed about it. We're going down the path of teriyaki noodles and soy sauce. Ah, yes! I love any excuse to eat some noodles. Hey, I'm Italian I can't help it. Oh, and I know alllllll those eyes who read this in some form like the stringing yummy material called pasta.

So, follows me to what makes this week's yummy concoction:



Crispy Orange Chicken Bowl
Prep time: 20 Minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes

1 pkg. Knorr Asian Sides teriyaki Noodles
1 bag (16 ounces) frozen stir-fry veggies, thawed
1/4 cup toasted sliced almonds
1 box (12 ounces) chicken nuggets, prepared according to package directions
1/4 cup orange marmalade or apricot preserves
2 tsp. reduced sodium soy sauce
1 tsp. white vinegar

*Prepare Knorr Asian sides teriyaki noodles according to package directions. adding veggies during the last 2 minutes of cook time. Stir in almonds. Evenly divide into 4 bowls.

*Toss chicken with marmalade, soy sauce, and vinegar in medium bowl. Serve over hot noodles.

*Garnish, if desired with additional almonds and chow mein noodles. Refrigerate any leftovers. Serves 4.








So how good was it? This dish was winning like Charlie Sheen! Total yum fest. Quick, cheap, and yummy meal. Loved by all around here so I encourage very much so to go forth and whip this up. It's one for the books.


Tid Bits:

*If you're not into the chicken nuggets in the frozen food isle then we suggest trying some boneless skinless chicken breast cut into strips or however you fancy them.

*We used Italian style veggies but feel free to use any kind you like.

*Because we're all piggy's around here haha we doubled this recipe but when you do so eye ball the veggies because honestly 2 bags over powers the noodles.



Ma's Spot: Love love this recipe! I really enjoyed it. If you like Chinese food and find your pockets empty this is a great dish to satisfy your Chinese taste. I will definitely be making this again and I'll take note from our tid bits and use the boneless skinless chicken breast. I think the next time instead of using Italian style veggies I'm going to go with the frozen 3 pepper blend.
